But to have any meaning or viability at all, a life plan must include intimate relationships. •Harriet Lerner  Treasure your relationships, not your possessions. •Anthony J D'Angelo  Money cannot buy peace of mind. It cannot heal ruptured relationships, or build meaning into a life that has none. •Richard M DeVos  Without relationships, no matter how much wealth, fame, power, prestige and seeming success by the standards and opinions of the world one has, happiness will constantly eluded him. •Sidney Malwed  Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust and hostility to evaporate. •Albert Schweitzer  The easiest kind of relationship is with ten thousand people, the hardest is with one. •Joan Baez  For me, the highest level of sexual excitement is in a monogamous relationship. •Warren Beatty  The key to any good relationship, on-screen and off, is communication, respect, and I guess you have to like the way the other person smells -- and he smelled real nice. •Sandra Bullock  My attachment has neither the blindness of the beginning, nor the microscopic accuracy of the close of such liaisons. •Lord Byron  In the mythic schema of all relations between men and women, man proposes, and woman is disposed of. •Angela Carter  I know for me the subject of how to be in a relationship is precious and complicated and challenging. It wouldn't be right to make it look too easy. •Helen Hunt  If we are a metaphor of the universe, the human couple is the metaphor par excellence, the point of intersection of all forces and the seed of all forms. The couple is time recaptured, the return to the time before time. •Octavio Paz  The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but to hold hands. •Alexandria Penney  It is the things in common that make relationships enjoyable, but it is the little differences that make them interesting. •Todd Ruthman  When you're in a relationship, you're always surrounded by a ring of circumstances... joined together by a wedding ring, or in a boxing ring. •Bob Seger  If you're in a relationship and you want to make it work, you have to be a little selfless at times. •Montel Williams  Assumptions are the termites of relationships.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I pray thee let me and my fellow have A hair of the dog that bit us last night. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18590]]></link><description><![CDATA[I pray thee let me and my fellow have A hair of the dog that bit us last night.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hopefully a few days of rest will give her an opportunity to heal up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hopefully a few days of rest will give her an opportunity to heal up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35990</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fountains of tears. [Lat., Fons lacrymarum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58779]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fountains of tears. [Lat., Fons lacrymarum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lie has speed, but truth has endurance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13802]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lie has speed, but truth has endurance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each man is a hero and an oracle to somebody, and to that person whatever he says has an enhanced ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19226]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each man is a hero and an oracle to somebody, and to that person whatever he says has an enhanced value.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19226</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59005]]></link><description><![CDATA[In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19904]]></link><description><![CDATA[My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christians awake, salute the happy morn Whereon the Saviour of the world was born. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8627]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christians awake, salute the happy morn Whereon the Saviour of the world was born.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For a man learns more quickly and remembers more easily that which he laughs at, than that which he approves ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24180]]></link><description><![CDATA[For a man learns more quickly and remembers more easily that which he laughs at, than that which he approves and reveres. [Lat., Discit enim citius, meminitque libentius ilud  Quod quis deridet, quam quod probat et veneratur.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eighty percent of success is related to attitude rather than competency. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9206]]></link><description><![CDATA[Eighty percent of success is related to attitude rather than competency.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Kelvin has been working hard for a little over a month.

Hence a man's reaction to Monarchy is a kind of test. Monarchy can easily be "debunked"; but watch the faces, mark well the accents, of the debunkers. These are the men whose tap-root in Eden has been cut: whom no rumour of the polyphony, the dance, can reach -- men to whom pebbles laid in a row are more beautiful than an arch. Yet even if they desire mere equality, they cannot reach it. Where men are forbidden to honour a king, they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I got the impression the terms were coming together for them, but I don't know for sure.
